Katie Price dumps Lee Andrews
Katie Price has reportedly dumped Lee Andrews after discovering he has no money.
The 48-year-old former glamour model married the controversial businessman - who is currently in jail in Dubai - in January, just days after they first met, but she is said to have quietly consulted a divorce lawyer about ending their marriage because she believes she has been "played" following the revelation he has just £2.22 in his cryptocurrency account, a far cry from the £37 million fortune he claimed to have.
She told a friend: "I have come to my senses — Lee has lied and lied and lied. I am sick of it. It is over.”
Katie has no plans to return to visit Lee in Dubai, where he is currently being held at Al Awir prison while facing three civil cases.
A source added: “The marriage is done. She will never go to Dubai to see Lee again.
“It was, of course, an accumulation of many things but the final straw came after Lee had told Katie he had $50million (£37million) in a crypto wallet, and promised her some of the funds.
“He gave her the ‘recovery phrase’ — the passkey — to get into his account, and on Monday she had a financial expert access the wallet — and, to her shock, discovered it contained just $3, or £2.22.
“Lee never had $50million; he doesn’t have a bean. The most he ever had on any one day was in March for $14,490 (£10,720) which was sent out the very same day."
According to the insider, the mother-of-five had been "planning her exit" for some time amid reports of fraud allegations against Lee, as well as accusations of abuse from one of his former girlfriends.
The source added: “Obviously over the past few months Kate has seen all the damning evidence building up against him — and was always planning her exit once the white noise became unavoidable.
“But after seeing his accounts — as opposed to his AI mock-ups — she lost her s***.
“He has deeply embarrassed her and, more importantly, has scammed, hurt and cheated so many other women. Enough is enough.”
“She tried to give Lee the benefit of the doubt when all these women came forward, and she did, unquestionably, really fancy him.
“He initially had an answer for everything, and wormed his way back into her affections.
